What are we using cookies for?

Cookies may serve many purposes which roughly fall in the following categories:

Technical state and personal settings: If a website needs to remember personal settings, e.g. the items in your shopping cart.

Statistics and tracking traffic: So that those running the website may inspect visitor behaviour, and improve the overall experience based on this intelligence.

Targeted advertising: So that those running the website may show you commercial messages, based on your overall browsing habits.

Which cookies are we using on the website?

On this website we use only a few cookies, for tracking traffic and technical state.

Tracking traffic using Google Analytics

On this website we collect statistics on user habits, how the users got here and how they use the site. That way we can keep an eye on how to improve the site, for instance whenever a user searches for a specific word, but does not find anything. This data is analysed in collated form only, specific machines cannot be identified. Consequently we cannot identify you as an individual.

Tracking traffic through social media

On our website we want to show the number of people who are sharing our content on social media. That requires us to gather information from Facebook, Twitter etc., and they all place a number of cookies in your browser in return. Often they use those cookies to provide you with targeted advertising.

Technical Cookies

We always use a simple cookie to track whether you have accepted cookies or not. If you have said no to cookies, this is the way we remember. In certain situations we also use a number of cookies to keep track of your wanderings around the site, and some of the choices you make along the way. In addition, the system behind the website sends a cookie to remember whether your browser supports javascript.
